With its easy availability, one of the things that have prospered over the years is the business of video streaming. High-definition streaming, which was considered impossible just a few years ago, is something that almost all internet users do every day. There are many websites which host the streaming of videos but only a few of them are worth the users’ time.

Below is a list of the best video streaming websites.

10. AOL Video Network

Multimedia content that is branded by TV channels is aired on AOL’s video network. Users can upload their own videos too and in the search feature, the user has the option to search for either branded video, user-generated video, or both.

9. Microsoft Video Network

Fox Sports, Bing Videos, MSNBC and TODAY have all partnered with Microsoft to air their videos on their site. Hundreds of millions of users every month flock to Microsoft Video Network to catch their doses of internet videos.

8. Yahoo! Video

Launched in 2006, Yahoo! Video offers a wide array of movie trailers, behind the scenes and TV clips. The search function lets you filter out and watch exactly what you are looking for. Your daily dose of videos ranging from sports highlights to the latest news can be found on Yahoo! Video.

7. Viacom Network

If some organizations that keep track of the number of website visitors are to be believed, then the Viacom Network can claim to be one of the most popular video websites on the internet. Their overall material includes videos from MTV, Addicting Games and Nickelodeon among others.

6. Hulu

Hulu was launched in 2007 and is one of the premier websites to watch the latest TV shows and movies. However, Hulu is legally restricted to be aired only in the United States.

5. Facebook

Just for the record, Facebook is the number two most visited websites if all the categories of websites are taken into account. The video collection of Facebook consists almost entirely of material uploaded by users.

4. Google Video

Google Video, which is now defunct, had a good collection of user-uploaded videos and TV and movie clips. The search function was quite effective too; you wouldn’t doubt that because it was owned by the number one search engine on the internet.

3. Vevo

Most of the entries on this list archive many different categories of videos. Vevo on the other hand is strictly for music videos. The highest available video quality of the videos are shown by Vevo on its channel. Once again, it is for US users only.

2. DailyMotion

DailyMotion is headquartered in France and is the second most popular video sharing website. It is known particularly for the different search features it offers. It also serves as an alternative website for users in countries where YouTube is banned.

1. YouTube

You probably would not be surprised to see YouTube at the number one spot on this list. YouTube was launched in 2005 and in 2006 was bought out by Google, which is one of the reasons for the closure of Google Video. YouTube has played a significant role in raising the statuses of many people to celebrities.

These video sites could also be considered whenever you want to upload a video on internet.

10. Blip.tv:

Many features of this site are similar to YouTube and you can even upload full length films without any difficulty as the user interface is also very smart and convenient.

7. Viddler:

High Definition video uploading is available for all users without registering for Pro.

The content is organized by category and this site has a major emphasis on community building as many users are added everyday in the contact list and they can send feedback as well.

5. Current TV:

Sites like YouTube generally pick content from TV and then post it on their sites. But, the Content TV works the other way. There are a number of videos and pods on this website which is then voted by their users and the content that gets highest votes is the one to be played on their TV channel. There is a wide variety of videos on this site and if you are a kind of quality video producer, you can try your luck by joining this community and posting your videos to this site. If your videos are chosen by other users, it might be played on TV thereby making you a little bit of cash and a huge popularity.

4. Atom:

If you are a kind of user who visits YouTube during your boring days and you need a laugh, I would suggest you to visit Atom instead. The videos here are much more funny and humorous as present on YouTube. Previously known as Atom Films, Atom has an enormous collection of funny videos including animation stories, comedy short stories, sketches and others. Atom has been so popular because of its very own staff filmmakers producing large number of quality funny videos to entertain their customers on a daily basis.

3. 5 min:

This is yet another video platform which contains videos of 5 minutes duration only. Most of the videos here are 5 minute tutorials. For example: You can learn to photograph a red squirrel in just 5 minutes, or how to find a solution to poverty in your country, that too in just 5 minutes. If you know any of the art that you want to teach people, you can make a 5 minute video of it and upload it on this site. This is really a nice concept.

2. Blinkx:

Blinkx video site contains videos from almost all the categories and it is regarded as the world’s largest video search engine. You do not need to go to various video sites for searching various different categories if you are a Blinkx user this site provides videos under all the categories at a single place. The search is based in keyword. You type a keyword in the search bar and a large collection of videos is presented before you from which you can select which one to play.

1. Yfrog:

Yfrog is my favourite video platform and it could be considered as the best alternative to YouTube. This video site is also very fast and uploading is faster and easier than ever. Popularly known as the photo sharing website, the yfrog also provides an opportunity to upload short, high quality video clips and share them on Twitter. This is a kind of personal video uploading platform where your uploaded videos would go as a post in your friends’ news feed. The features are limited at the moment, but yfrog is sure to grow later on.

YouTube is popular no doubt, but due to its features getting limited day by day and charges imposed on some downloads, people are heading towards some other video sites. The most popular ones have been discussed in this article. If you feel I have missed out on some other, please feel free to share it in the comments section.
